dmarcian vs Valimail (2026): which should you pick?

Pick dmarcian if

• Fits if you need DMARC on two business domains at $19.99 a month billed yearly
• Works for a personal, non-business domain, which the free plan covers

Look elsewhere if

• Pricey if you outgrow 2 domains or 1 user, as Plus jumps to $199 a month billed yearly
• Skip it if you want an API, single sign-on or Domain Discovery, which wait for Enterprise at $499 a month
• Not for you if you need list cleaning, warm-up or placement tests
• Watch out: the free plan is for non-business domains only, and an audit that finds a business domain ends the account
• Watch out: prices exclude tax, no integrations are on record, and Basic keeps only 3 months of history

Pick Valimail if

• Fits if you want to see who sends as your domain before you pay
• Works for security teams moving toward DMARC enforcement

Look elsewhere if

• Skip it if you want a price, as Enforce and Amplify are by quote
• Tight if you want more than visibility on free, since enforcement is Enforce
• Watch out: Amplify is an add-on that works alongside Enforce
• Watch out: cost depends on how many domains you protect

dmarcian

• The free Personal plan is for non-business domains only; business domains found in an audit make the account expire.
• API access, single sign-on and Domain Discovery are Enterprise only.
• Basic covers just 2 active domains; more domains or volume need a higher tier or a custom quote.
• Prices exclude tax, and the tool does not verify lists, warm up inboxes or test placement.

Valimail

• Pricing for Enforce and Amplify is not published; both are quoted by the sales team.
• Amplify is an add-on that works alongside Enforce.
• The pricing page says it is sized by domain and product, so cost depends on how many domains you protect.
